Abstract: This essay aims to generate the execution strategies in compliance with the self-regulative requirements on workplace health and safety set out by the ERA Company. Through adopting the tolerability of risk (TOR) model, varies hazards in production and construction activities have been identified and classifies into three categories: acceptable, tolerable and unacceptable. Based on the risk control analysis, three suggestions to improve health and safety practices are proposed: developing training programmes on health and safety to employees, enabling the operational communications and coordination, and improving the environmental control and management of personnel protection equipment. The company may gain benefits from effective implementations. To examine the effectiveness of the strategies, performance measurements are discussed from physical, functional and financial aspects. It suggests developing formal procedures to audit and review the performance for continual improvement. Finally, it predicts that the workplace health and safety regulations and practices will have implications on both facility managers and organisations. For the facility managers, they may face career opportunities; and for the organisations, good performance in health and safety may help them gain competitive advantages and more business opportunities.
